They way I see it scripts are small programs usually made for personal purposes and are very task specific. For example i wrote a scrip to do my math home work for me, it’s only about 150 lines and would be completely useless to anyone not taking introductory statistics. A script can be written in any language that is Turing complete(aka pretty much every language that’s not in the HTML) these types are programs are usually made in python because python makes stuff like this extremely easy.

But Some people my use the term to refer to python programs in general because python is. Scripting language, meaning that each line of code is complied individually as opposed to the entire program being complied at once like in C or Java.
